I am running akhq 0.18.0 but need help on configure health endpoint

[ankurjains]

I am running akhq in kubernetes with 8080 port exposed and for akhq. But documentation says 28081 for health endpoint which i can not access when i hit localhost:28081 as akhq is running on 8080. if i change port to 8080 in endpoint section from 28081 container wont start and throw error
Unable to start server. Additional specified server port 8080 already in use.
2021-10-14 12:41:06,609 ERROR main i.m.runtime.Micronaut Error starting Micronaut server: Unable to start Micronaut server on port: 8080
io.micronaut.http.server.exceptions.ServerStartupException: Unable to start Micronaut server on port: 8080

Could anyone help on configuring health endpoint so that i can use it in k8s liveness test. lack java skills

You can't change the endpoint port to the same port of the app.
Since default application have an endpoint configuration, you can't change it to the same port.

Whenever, it's a bad practice & security issues to expose health on the same port.
So the endpoint is not reachable outside of the pod and it's a good things.

But I wonder why you have some much difficulty, the official helmcharts have all the configuration required to have a running service on k8s with healthcheck.

We in our org are not supporting helm but I have created my own config and yamls for k8s deployment. For that I need to configure health endpoint but when i hit from pod localhost:28081/health nothing comes up
